Having a status property with the following options:
In progress
To do
Done
When I create a base having this property then I filter by Status → “Doesn’t contain any of: Done”

The 1st one correspond to null (so the key exists but doesn’t bear any real value) while the 2nd one is actually blank (the key also exists and actually has a value: an empty string).
At least, if I remember correctly my previous tests
When you create a new note, from your base and the Status key is added, it’s probably not added with a blank value (""), so underneath the value for the Status key is null which then get filtered out by the “does not contain any” …
Something you could do, I think (again ), if you want the new notes with the Status key appearing could be to use a filter such as:
file has property Status
and Status is not Done
This should keep all the notes which don’t have a Status key set to Done, including the ones where the value would either be null or blank.
(There probably are other ways to get there though )
.
